Well, I am typing this update from my brand-new and gloriously wonderful Sony Vaio laptop--just got back from Raleigh, which explains how I had enough money to get it. I'm really grateful to Grandmother and Grandad for buying it for me; this thing kicks absolute ass. I already have two computer games on here, and they run as smooth as butter. Damn, it's so weird; I'm used to really crappy computers that lag with only one game.

Speaking of Raleigh, I enjoyed my time up there. I got a backpack for college that is laptop-specific, so it has a nice space to strap my laptop in. I also got some new clothes (under the guise of "shopping for college," of course), which I enjoy very much. I'm actually really tired right now, mainly because I was in the car for seven hours and that it's after 1 AM. I really missed Kalan while I was gone, so he came over soon after I got home. He showed me a game he made, which was pretty fun in a slice-'em-up kind of way. He told me that it's been raining in Columbus practically every day, which fortunately I missed; the weather was mostly nice up in North Carolina. Apparently there's a tropical storm heading our way tonight, so that'll be fun.
